Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we have a secret!

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Fresh from sharing the hotplates with Michel Roux, the Hostec Academy Patisserie students this week broke bread with the world’s favourite food crusader, Jamie Oliver!!

Although it’s not widely known what Jamie was doing on our shores (that’s the secret), our Students had the pleasure of catching some of his filming at Brassier Bread.

Based in Banksmeadow, Brassier Bread has long been supplying artesian bread to the Sydney’s leading restaurants, cafes and deli’s. They also lead the charge on sharing the tradition of bread baking through their many hands on classes.

Brassier Bread is home to a number of Hostec Academy Patisserie students on their work placement.

Our Academy students sure are meeting cookery royalty these days!!

Hostec raves about Bondi Pizza Bar

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

One of our resident Hostec reviewers last night popped into Bondi’s latest edition to the strip, and what a place! Bondi Pizza Bar, located in the heart of Bondi is not to be missed. Greeted with warmth and seated immediately, it was easyto feel relaxed and get into the swing of the evening. The drinks listed was attended to first with a ”True Cosmpolitan’ on the cards for the girls. Delicious. Next - to the food. A great variety of pizzas were available including the ‘Chicken pancetta’ with bacon, scattering of cheese, BBQ sauce and parsley and ‘The Italian’ for a more traditional pizza which included Spanish sausage, tomato sauce, cheese etc. The best pizza in Bondi without a doubt. But don’t be fooled by the name of the restaurant, the menu also includes a variety of salads, vegetarian dishes and other assorted main meals. While the pizzas were too filling to attempt dessert, it was indeed tempting to divulge in the ‘Chocolate Pocket Pizza.’ Maybe next time….

Bondi Pizza Bar gets a huge 10 out of 10. Great food, great location, great services and great atmosphere. If you’re interested in checking it out give them a call on 9365 6500 and head down to Bondi. Seating is available both inside and out.
